A mother whose fascination with 'tidy consuming' caused the death of her seriously malnourished young child has actually expressed regret at her lifestyle saying she now realises she was residing in a hazardous 'bubble'.

Naiyahmi Yasharahyalah, 43, stated she now 'wanted she had actually done more research about ... healthy diet plans' however was 'trying to safeguard myself from all the bad things worldwide'.

She and her husband Tai, 42, were jailed for an overall of 44 years in December over the death of 3 year old Abiyah, whose remains were found buried in the back garden of their previous Birmingham home.

The couple, both degree-educated, lived in squalor after turning their back on society, making it through only on fruit, nuts and seeds having actually developed a 'kingdom' in which they lived under their own faith and laws.

They were found to have willfully neglected Abiyah by stopping working to supply him with enough food and to needed medical attention - prioritising their 'distorted system of beliefs' over his welfare.

A review by Birmingham Safeguarding Children Partnership, published today, suggests health and social care workers and authorities might have been postponed challenging to couple's religions over fears of being viewed as inequitable.

The report stated Abiyah ended up being 'undetectable and lost from professional view' following a lack of 'expedition or interest' by health visitors while the Covid-19 lockdown in March 2020 likely contributed to the 'lack of follow-through activity'.

Naiyahmi Yasharahyalah, 43, stated it was now 'hard to accept that my method did not cause the best results for my child which it took the court process to take me out of that bubble'.

Tai, the 42-year-old kid of a former Nigerian government official, was imprisoned for 24-and-a-half years at Coventry Crown Court in December after being convicted of triggering the death of Abiyah, kid ruthlessness and perverting the course of justice. He declined to be talked to for the review

Abiyah's birth in 2016 was registered but he was not seen by medics or experts after 2018 and his death in January 2020 went unnoticed. Officials only discovered the kid had actually passed away nearly 3 years later, after authorities were asked to perform a well-being check on the couple.

They admitted burying him in the garden after laying with his body for eight days in the hope he would be reincarnated.

When his remains were exhumed, he was found to have had extreme malnutrition, rickets, anaemia and stunted development thanks to his minimal diet. His rotting teeth were falling out and he had five fractures that would have triggered horrible pain.

The evaluation stated the case demonstrated the requirement for 'experts to be confident to ask concerns about different cultures and belief systems without fear of being viewed as inequitable'.

Abiyah was last seen by medical specialists in 2018 after which there was a 'disastrous deterioration in his health and well-being between that point and his death in early 2020 due to the appalling disregard by his parents'. Report author Kevin Bell stated the last months his life 'should have been unimaginably unfortunate and unpleasant'.

Both the mom and dad were said to be members of Royal Ahayah's Witness referred to as an 'odd spiritual motion that has ties to Black Israelites and is based upon the belief that mainstream Christianity is designed to subjugate the Black Community.'

The evaluation said their hostility towards those in authority triggered the focus of specialists to be 'diverted or distracted' from the kids's welfare while the couple's many name modifications and aliases made it more difficult for agencies to track and share information effectively.

It noted that Abiyah 'was only ever seen by a small number of professionals throughout his life time, and for a minimal time just'.

According to records, he was seen by a health visitor in April 2016 soon after his birth, and the following month for a check-up.

There was some contact in 2018 with a regional authority social employee in London and 4 sees to a children's centre in Birmingham, however the evaluation stated: 'Records of these contacts and interactions are extremely minimal, strengthening that there was really little insight into (Abiyah's) existence, health or welfare.'

Abiyah's parents' trial heard authorities went to the Clarence Road residential or commercial property in Handsworth three times, including in February 2018 when Abiyah was alive.

The review mentioned that with regard to this visit 'no information were recorded' about Abiyah, with his existence 'almost invisible on review of records'.

Elsewhere, the evaluation kept in mind 'no exploration or curiosity' from the health visiting service, run by Birmingham Community Health Care NHS Foundation Trust, about Abiyah's mother's desire for a home birth without any medical intervention.

In March 2020, health visitor records said it had been noted at a securing meeting that Abiyah had not been seen by them considering that his six-week evaluation, with visits at the one and two-year marks since his birth not participated in.

He had actually also not received any regular immunisations. While a follow-up inquiry was planned, there was no record of why it never occurred, although the evaluation specified that the coronavirus lockdown which started that year most likely contributed.

The different authorities entering into contact with the kid's family showed a 'general lack of knowledge or evaluation of the parents' belief systems', causing an 'insufficient understanding about the effect on his care, the review said.

It included that his parents' behaviour 'typically distracted or diverted professional attention' away from his safety and well-being.

The evaluation stated: 'Parental resistance of guidance, assistance or authority eventually resulted in (Abiyah) ending up being undetectable and lost from expert view.'

The report consisted of reflections that while social employees had know the household's culture and moms and dads' beliefs and way of life, they appeared not to have considered 'with detailed interest' the effect on Abiyah's safety and health and wellbeing, 'such as if indeed his overall requirements were being met'.

Tai, the 42-year-old kid of a former Nigerian government official, was jailed for 24-and-a-half years at Coventry Crown Court in December while 43-year-old Naiyahmi received a 19-and-a-half-year sentence after being convicted of causing the death of Abiyah, child ruthlessness and perverting the course of justice.

Judge Mr Justice Wall said the fact the couple had taken no photos of the young boy in the last four months of his life was 'a clear indication that you realised already how ill he was'.

The judge informed them: 'Abiyah died as an outcome of your wilful overlook of him. He was significantly stunted in his development - at practically 4 years of age, he was buried in the clothes of an 18-month-old. 'It is difficult to think of an even worse case of overlook.'

As part of the evaluation, the views of both moms and dads were sought. Tai refused to be talked to but Yasharahyalah agreed informing the evaluation it was now 'hard to accept that my technique did not lead to the best results for my child and that it took the court procedure to take me out of that bubble'.

She stated at the time, she did not think Abiyah required assist with any health problem.

In a statement, James Thomas and Sue Harrison Co-Chairs of the Birmingham Safeguarding Children Partnership, stated the evaluation had actually 'identified important knowing'.

They said: 'Learning includes agencies working together jointly to protect children who end up being 'out of sight' and working better with families who discover themselves on the fringes of society, helping them to gain access to support and stepping in where needed when children are at threat.

'Protecting children out of expert sight is a real obstacle, provided the limits of statutory powers to guarantee all children are frequently seen. Our Partnership has actually made this one of our leading tactical concerns to guarantee that we do whatever we perhaps can to recognize danger to those kids who are out of sight.'

An NSPCC representative said: 'While the parents of little Abiyah are eventually responsible for his death, this review brings into sharp focus why it is important that specialists demonstrate interest and analysis.

'This indicates asking penetrating concerns, signing up with up and sharing details and undertaking quality evaluations to notify an understanding of the effect of the moms and dads' behaviour on the kid.

'This is particularly tough when moms and dads are unwilling and resistant to engage, which in this situation took the focus away from the safety of this little boy till unfortunately it was far too late.

'Having the confidence to identify and know how to check ethnic background, cultural and belief related behaviours, while keeping an open mind, can help child securing practitioners throughout firms construct better relationships with families and recognize the effect and prospective dangers to children.

'It is acknowledged that this and the other learning points raised by the review have actually been taken on board by the organisations included and changes have actually been made to better protect kids.'
